Day 8 of sobriety. Porn (with mild promiscuous sex) addiction. Sobriety is relatively easy short term but this addiction is insidious. Some boredom and feelings that I “deserve” some porn creeping in just a tiny bit. Handling it ok but I’m hearing the whispers just a little bit.

How are you doing now?
Thx for asking. Day 10 and doing well. Avoiding the purposeful fantasies which are always a first step towards eventual porn. Always more triggered after getting back from girlfriends place. I tell myself that I “deserve” a treat, especially if i have a nice weekend with her. Ironically, the nicer and more intimate time we have, the more triggered I am when I get back home. Got back a couple nights ago and I’ll be with her again this weekend so the next more vulnerable time for me will be Monday night.

Some euphoric recall today. Thinking of past sex with ex girlfriends. I let it go and didn’t “engage” the fantasy. Definitely getting tougher. Day 12

Finished day 25. One slip 2 days ago but nothing major. Just watched a little softcore porn for about 15 minutes; no masturbation. Getting tougher still, overall. Went on a long bike ride today and was checking out a lot of women. I’ve mostly been in my place lately (except when I’m at girlfriends house) due to covid so real women can have a shock effect on me. It’s very nice to be sober though. 2 days without caffeine also but that won’t last for sure
